ChesIev Chambers.

JEFFEEsoNvILLE, November % i 3pecia,]
Colonel G.. w Friedley, solicitor for the
L. n. A. and @. railway, says that il is the
intention of the railway company and
the American Express Company to
push the prosecution of Chesley Chambers
with the utmost vigor. He says that both
companies are convinced that Chambers is
the man who shot Peter Weber and
George K. Davis and robbed the Express
safe on the Monon train near Clear Greek
Station, and that the Express Company
will be represented in the case by able
counsel. Colonel Friedley says that new
evidence has been discovered that will
establish the fact that Chambers got on
the train at Mitchell the night of the
shooting and robbery and went north
from that town. He states further that
it Is probable a special term of the Monroe
Circuit Court will be held at Bloomington
to try the case against Chambers.

LONDON, November 25.-The Coroner S
Jury, at Dover, has rendered verdict that
the collision between the w. A. Scholten
and Rosa Mary was due to an error in
judgment on the part OF the Scholten's of
ficers trying to cross the bows of the Rosa
Mary, which was anchored, without
making allowance for the strong tide; that
the conduct of the officers of the Ebro, the
rescuiDg steamer, is worthy of great praise.
At the instance of the Coroner, however,
the clause imputing error of judgmsnt
was elimin ated from the verdict.

The establishment embraced at the close
of the last fitcal year 21s stations, as fol-
lows: One hundred and sixty-six on the
Atlantic, frty-four on the lakes, seven on
the Pacific, and one at the falls of the Ohio,

tiers is 81, 7S6 925, and that of their cargoes
at 81, 2S8, 775, making the total value of
property $7,075, 700, of which s., ,7SS, $40
was saved and 81, ,2S6 $50 lost. The total

two.
Besides the foregoing, there were during
the year 135 casualties to smaller crafts,
such as sail boats, row boats, etc., on
which there were ga persons, 271 Of
whom were saved.
An unusual number of snow storms and
the prevalence of fogs made the operations
of the service more than commonly diff
cult and dangerous, but, nevertheless, the
station crews succeeded in saving q much
gIeater number of lives and a larger
amount of property than ever before, in
some instances perfoImir feats of unpar
Glleled enterprise and daring.
The following gives summary of the
statistics of the service from the introduc
tion of the present system in 1871 to the
close Of the fiscal year: Total number Of
disasters 3, $50; total value Of vessels and
cargoes involved, $65, $40. .779; saved, $47,-
334, 992; lost. $1S,21S,7S7. Total number of
persons involved, 80, ,427; saved, "a, ,SS3;
lost, 544. The loss of life as stated above
includes 1S3 persons lost at the wreck OF
the steamers Huron and Metropolis, aud
also fourteen other persons really not
chargeable to the service, leaving the total
number of lives lost during the sixteen
years of the existence of the system only
347, out of over $4,000 involved.
New stations were completed and put in
to commission during the year at Frank
fort, Pentwater, White River, Holland,
South Havana and Sturgeon Bay canal on
| Lake Michigan. The General Superin-
tendent recommends the establishment of
stations at Ashtabula on Lake Erie, and
| Marquette on Lake Superior. Measures
| are in progress for the improvement of
| the service on the Pacific, a commission of
| officers being now engaged upon that
coast with this view.

Novel Use for Electric Lamps.

WASHINGTON, November 2S.-The exper-
iments with the incandescent electric
lights which have been at the Torpedo
Station at Newport have developed novel
use for the little lamps and one that is said
to promise to be of great value in naval
warfare. With lamps of about 100-candls
power fastened on the ends of poles sub
merged in the sea to depth of twenty
feet, the water is so illuminated that OBJ
jects in il can be distinguished within 9
radius of $50 feet. There is little or no
glare from the submerged light to betray
the presence of the boat using the sparks.
1t is believed that by this means boat
might countermine an enemy's field OF
submarine mines by cutting their cables
or sweeping them to one side. 1t is prob
able that torpedo launches will d be
equipped with these lights in future. s-.1

The Marital Relations of Banker RawsOn

CHICAGO, November 28.-The marital
troubles of Banker Stephen w. Rawson
and his wife are once more brought to
public. attention by the publication of a
letter 10 Mrs. Rawson from her second
husband, Charles G. Lee. The lettar reads:
NOVEMBER Is, 1887.
MRS. NJ. L. RAwsoE:
Dear Msdame-I have just learned of
your sad troubles, and write to interfere
for the protection OF your and my child.
A clipping from the New York World
Mr., Rawson, alleges that your marriage to
me was illegal, and therefore our offspring
is illegitimate. That certainly is very
cowardly thrust, and / cannot conceive
why Mr.. Rawson should resort to such q
method to blight the name of q pure and
innocent child like Little Dot. You GER
tainIy have the certificate of the Judge
at New Orleans, where your divorce from
Staymaker, was obtained.
The records of August, 1875, in the
clerks Office at Louisville, will show that
our marriage license was regular. Had l
not been addicted to habits too extremely
convivial, believe it would never have
been necessary for me to offer protection
| to my child and its mother in guarding
their honor. The purity OF your w1fely
relation to me during our welded career,
not only entitle you to my protection, but
also to the sympathy of the public when
your character is assaiIed. My heart goes
out to Willie, whom loved and treated
[ Il believe he will admit it, as lay own
child. Tell him for me to bear up manful
! ly, anG not to fear that Chicago Jury will
condemn him for protecting the honor and
good name of his mother and little sister
Give my love to my dear little girl, and
tell her that her father lives to protect and
shield her with bis life.
Yours truly,
CHARLES G. LEE.
Mrs. Rawson's attorney says Lee is des
| perate man, and intimates that he may
come to Chicago and make it warm for thI
banker. who has not yet recovered from
the wound inflicted by Ralph William Lee

mitted to the Secretary OF the Interior for
submission to Congress reports from the
Surveyor General of New Mexico upon
private land claims in that Territory.

Commissioner recommends that the claim
be confirmed as 10 the lands actually re-
duced to possession and cultivationd, and
that, as the claimants have failed to

to their several possessions, to be ascer-
tanned by actual survey, but not to exceed
in quantity four square leagues in all.

Atrlsco No. 145'' for about II, 900 acres,

portions, to be,ascertained by survey. The

frmation of the whole grant as claimed.

ty of Our In stitutiOns,

CHICAGO, November 2S.-At a meeting
of the pastors of the various Protestant de-
nominations held to day, the subject of
Sabbath desecration was discussed. Rev.
@, E. Vaudeville read five small papers on
the subject and moved that they be pre-
Eented TO the Washington Conference with
the understanding that theConferenoe ap-
point a committee to lay the subject be-
fore Congress.
The first paper said that "But for Sab.
bath desecration there would be no such
class as Anarchists in this country" 1t
calls for a combine among the church
people to down the demon of
Sabbath desecration. The proposed
plan strikes at every form of LABOR
now INDUCED in on the Sabbath day.
The min nisters propose to petit on Con.
gress to enact laws first to dispense with
carrying mail and holding postoffices open
on Sunday. The paper is addressed to the
House of Representatives in Congress
assembled, and says: THE telegraph is
now used to transmit all important news
and, ther efore, there is no absolute neces
sity for running mails on the Sabbath
Consequently the running of mails on
that day is in violation of State laws"
The next paper is addressed to the di
rectors of the railroads in the United
States, and says: "The increased rate oi
speed of travel and transportation as com
pared with that used in the days of our
fathers has go multiplied the facilities oI
dispacthing business that there is no ne
oessity of running trains more than six
days in week"
The last paper is addressed to the pro
prietors Of the public press OF the United
States, and says the Sabbath is the,dividinl
line between Christianity and heathenism
that it is the bulWark that shields on
Christian civilization against anarchy, auC
that every influence that tends to weaker
the power of the Sabbath over the publ,
conscience endangers the stability of on
Republican institutions; that the bushes
of publishing and selling newspapers ol
the Sabbath is in open violation of on
State laws. I'VE therefore respectful!
request you to discontinue the publication
of. newspapers on Sunday"

for their destination. Some extra fare
was demanded, and in paying it they had
to open their chest and expose their

attracted attention. -
As matter of precaution, the chest was
confided to Miss Mary Noble, who sat in q
secluded section of the car with her back

gentlemen boarded the train. One was a
young wiry-looklng man, and the other

After a consultation it was decided that
Mrs. Noble and Miss Mary should proceed

others remained in Augusta awaiting, not
very confidently, the result.
Mrs. Noble succeeded in tracing the two
